In A BLANKET QUITE RARE, a boy receives a special hand-knitted blanket which he treasures, and which comforts him through a terrible storm. When the storm clears, the world seems different, and he wonders if the blanket has magically changed everything around him.
“The illustrations are attractive and children can depict the emotions of a frightening thunderstorm and the resulting joy in the peace and calm of a sunny day.”
“This title is very whimsical with beautiful watercolor illustrations throughout...This book may give children a new perspective on nature and how it is why it is. It may also help them cope with fear or insecurity. The main character’s challenge will encourage a child to imagine and inquire in ways that maybe they wouldn’t have before.”
“Specially created illustrations with strokes of crayon color offer vibrant backdrop to this charming verse story for children ages 6-10.”
A Blanket Quite Rare was enjoyed by children throughout Central Florida at library story times, original art installations, as part of the special needs curriculum at The Center for Contemporary Dance in Orlando, Florida as well as with a program written for classroom use which corresponds to the Florida State Standards / Common Core Curriculum.
